We would like the Government to revisit the allocation of the West Coast

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that Virgin Trains are the best operation team to run it and with Brexit we want to keep it here
if necessary allow both Virgin and SNCF to bid and they both have to have a big chunk each

Why it was rejected

Review the DFT’s decision to disqualify Virgin Trains from WCP franchise bid.
